Description
This is the Annual Subscription Renewal for SolarWinds DPA for Virtualized Environments (Oracle EE, DB2, ASE). This Category 1 license is designed for high-end enterprise databases running on VMware or Hyper-V.
Renewing ensures you retain visibility into the complex interaction between your Oracle/DB2 databases and the virtualization layer (vCenter). Keep identifying "noisy neighbor" issues and resource contention that kill performance.
Why Renew?

Trending FAQs: Enterprise Renewal
Q: Does this include the VM Option?
A: Yes, this specific SKU is for Virtualized Environments, meaning the VM Option is bundled in. You do not need to renew it separately.
Q: Can I downgrade to Standard Edition?
A: If you have migrated your database from Oracle Enterprise to Standard Edition (SE), you can downgrade your DPA license to "Category 2" during renewal to save money. Contact us for a quote.
Q: Is this price per core?
A: No! DPA is licensed Per Instance. This is a huge advantage over Oracle's per-core pricing. You pay the same renewal fee regardless of how many CPUs you assign to the VM.
Q: What happens if I virtualize a physical server?
A: If you move a physical DB to a VM, you need to upgrade your license to this "Virtualized" edition. We can process this change during your renewal cycle.
